    I’m not sure you know what dimensions are… but then neither did whoever made this mall attraction.

    Also, come on, you show Pinhead but it isn’t Doug Bradley?

      Let’s not even go into whoever they dropped in after he left the tattered franchise. Oddly enough, the Hulu reboot/continuation(?) wasn’t that bad. Further note, it’s weirdly connected to an upcoming tenforward post I’m slapping together.

        If you want another connection between Hellraiser and Star Trek, Doug Bradley’s name was on the tip of my tongue and it just wasn’t coming to me, so I looked up Pinhead on Wikipedia.

        Pinhead was voiced by Fred Tatasciore- Lower Decks’ own Shaxs- in 2011’s Hellraiser: Revelations. He only did the voice, but there’s a link for you.

          Yup, saw that one earlier when i discovered there were a couple more entries to the franchise prior to the Hulu one. New line needs to drop their attachment almost as bad as Sony to Spider-Man. Almost.

      These marketing gimmicks are fairly uh… “broadly inclusive” in their definitions of terms (whatever makes them the most money).

      But you are right, that choice was unforgivable. My image seems to have caused you… pain?

      Thus, mission failed spectacularly! :-)

      Believe it or not, in certain contexts, this is an appropriate use of dimension. Dimensions can be thought of as parameters, essentially. In 3d space, you have 3 parameters, length, width, and height. Add in time and you have 4d spacetime. From there, if you’re defining a system with more parameters, it’s a higher dimensional space. A movie with 3 spatial dimensions, then programmed smell releases, like someone else mentioned, would then be 4 dimensions: l,w,h,s. The reality is, it’s a bit silly and definitely a marketing gimmick to refer to your movie experience as “9d”, but it’s not entirely incorrect.
